XnView Software

XnView: MP 1.8.2 64-bit
OS: Windows 10 64-bit

The setting for the viewer, which date should be shown in the status bar, does not work. The status bar of the viewer always shows what is set as the date type for the browser. Both therefore use the date type that is set for the browser.

To reproduce:

• Use a photo with Exif data.

• Activate the date display in the status bar for the viewer.

• Select all 4 options from the drop-down menu one after the other and view the same image after each selection. The display does not change. What is displayed is always what is set in the browser drop-down menu.

• Now select all 4 options from the drop-down menu for the browser date one after the other. It does not matter whether the date for the browser is activated or not. After each selection, also look at the same photo there and compare the date in the status bar with those in the properties of the photo (also Exif). It matches the properties. The drop-down field setting for Viewer has no effect. Only the checkbox whether a date is active or not works correctly.

Thanks to your detailed description I can reproduce the problem.

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 1.8.3. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.
